Thank you Julia

If you aren’t completely obsessed with Julia Child yet, you just might be after reading Bob Spitz’s entertaining biography. DEARIE: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child offers readers a comprehensive look at Julia’s life from her privileged upbringing in Pasadena to her work in the OSS during World War II to her four decades as one of America’s preeminent cooking teachers. Reviewer Michael Magras says, “Spitz does a nice job of showing us how a rich girl who threw mud pies at passing cars became The French Chef.... If you enjoy loving descriptions of French cuisine and want to re-experience the novelty of a six-foot-three woman with a fluty voice bringing French cooking to the masses, then this book...will be a source of pleasure.” We also have an interview with Spitz where you can clearly see his appreciation for this 20th-century icon.
